I am getting internet connection through http proxy. Due to this, I am not able to install additional packages through Puppy Package Manager. PPM is working only Direct access to Internet/ISP. Also I have managed to install Google Chrome. In which Change Proxy setting is not possible. While trying to set up Proxy setting in Google Chrome Browser, I am getting following message.

How to set up "http proxy "in Puppy as well as in Google Chrome Browser

and so on you could check from within a terminal, if the variables are now setup correctly. Chrome should now work. please also test ppm at this stage. in my opinion it also should work now (it's from memory, i'm not in puppy right now).

only if ppm still doesn't work do the following.

ppm uses wget to download the files. to configure wget for your proxy there are 2 possibilities:
a) change default settings
/etc/wgetrc is the default-rc-file. open it in a editor. there are two points to change (and activate), the proxy-adress and use_proxy (please simple search for them). be aware to also delete the '#'. save the file. you should now be able to install directly with ppm.
b) setup user settings
copy the file /etc/wgetrc to /root and rename it to .wgetrc. after that apply the same settings as in a).

Thank you for the help. I am glad to inform you that now I am able to install from Puppy Package Manager after providing Http Proxy setting and User name and Password in /etc/wgetrc. However, I am still not able to browse Google Chrome and not able to access the Network Proxy setting in Google Chrome (option - under the hood of chrome). I also provided the proxy setting in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. However, PPM starts working only after adding Http Proxy setting in etc/wgetrc file. ( my Puppy works in Full Hard Disk -sda8 - with Grub Boot ) . My pending problem - how to browse through Google Chrome or enable Proxy setting in Google Chrome.
Looking forward further help
Thanking you once again.

Thank you for the continued support for solving my problem. In this regard, you may please note that though I am not a programmer, I managed to put the Google Chrome into working condition as per your guidance and suggestion. I have provided following commands in Console/terminal as detailed by you :-export http_proxy :”http://200.200.200.5:6588”export https_proxy:http://200.200.200.5:6588”then typed google-chrome. At this stage, Google chrome Browser started and while entering the website address, the authroisation for Proxy came up, I have entered the user name and password for proxy. To my surprise, I was able to browse through Google Chrome without any other problem! Thank you very much. I feel Google chrome is faster than others in Puppy Linux. It even supports local language site without any problem. I browsed many local language newspaper site, it provides lightning fast access!!. As per your suggestion, I have created a file and made executable and put on Desktop and set Icon of Google Chrome. It works when clicking Icon. !! Credit goes to U, Sir.However, from academic point, I would like to point out to you one problem which is still not solved in Google Chrome ie. Built in Proxy setting in Google Chrome ( option – under the hood). It is not necessary to me because I am now able to use Chrome. It may be due to some built it problem of Google Chrome ? Puppy Package ManagerAs per your guidance, I have edited the wgetrc file as follows :

After saving this setting , I was able to update and install the new software through Puppy Package Manager. !!!. However, this has not solved the problem of Google Chrome mentioned in earlier occasion.

Recent puppies have /usr/local/simple_network_setup/proxy-setup, which is launched via a button in the Internet Connection Wizard (click 'connect' icon on desktop).

This includes Wary, Racy, Slacko, many others.

Nice to read you, Barry! Genius!

I remembered that even on a Windows machine, I was unable to connect mplayer or any other console application, trough the proxy. It seems that some setups on the proxy's side is allowing only browsers to connect to the internet.

So, modify "/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser" did the trick. Just like this:

Code:

exec iron --proxy-server=nvisacc:8080 "$@"

And Iron ask for user and password, and connects!

Sorry for the lost of time, but may be also you are suffering like me because of an irremediable proxy restriction.
